#16 Radical Self-Inquiry: The Path to Inner Transformation with Jerry Colonna

01/06/25 • 49 min

In this episode, I sit down with the insightful Jerry Colonna to explore inner transformation, radical self-inquiry, and the power of self-compassion. Together, we dive into how true reinvention begins from within, often sparked by moments of personal suffering, and how recognizing our role in our own discomfort can lead to profound growth.
Jerry shares his wisdom on the crucial distinction between guilt and remorse, encouraging a compassionate lens for self-reflection. We also unpack how ancestral influences shape our behaviors and emotions, highlighting the importance of understanding our past with empathy rather than blame. Throughout our conversation, Jerry emphasizes that radical self-inquiry is essential not only for personal healing but also for effective, empathetic leadership.
If you’re ready to peel back the layers, embrace all parts of yourself, and lead with empathy—whether in your personal life or at work—this episode offers deep insights to guide your journey.
